The claim that Monte Carlo is the most accurate method is a case of misattributed credit. This claim is based on experience with advanced systems MCNPX, Geant4 and EGS. These systems achieve remarkable performance because they use most…
The dynamical formulation of the optimal transport can be extended through various choices of the underlying geometry (kinetic energy), and the regularization of density paths (potential energy). These combinations yield different…
There are several approaches to describe flows with particles e.g. Lattice-Gas Automata (LGA), Lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) or smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). These approaches do not use fixed grids on which the Navier-Stokes…
When the flow is sufficiently rarefied, a temperature gradient, for example, between two walls separated by a few mean free paths, induces a gas flow---an observation attributed to the thermo-stress convection effects at microscale. The…
We use the vorticity transportation equation as the start point--with the help of stream function for two-dimensional planar incompressible flows--to obtain exact solutions that characterize evolution and dynamics of the flows. These…
